Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he is facing a 10 year ban, so he wouldn't be eligible to return to the US until 2022.

Was unlawfully present in the US for more than 365 days after April 1, 1997.

INA 212(a)(9)(B)(ii) - 10 yr ban, immediate I-601 waiver eligibility with a qualifying USC/LPR relative. NOTE: Time spent unlawfully in the US while under the age of 18 DOES NOT count towards the 365 days in this specific section of the law.

You need to file for an IR1 visa. He will go through the process and the interview and will be denied because of the ban. Then you will file a waiver which will hopefully be approved.

As mentioned above, you need to petition him for an IR-1 spousal visa and go through the same processs everyone else is. He will be denied at interview and then you file the waiver for the ten year ban. He wil likely have another ban for ignoring the voluntary departure.

Ignoring the VD will be an aggravating factor.

Thank you everyone for your quick response, Do you think will be more penalties add to the ten years ban cause delay to start the case immediately? and could you please give me some suggestions about my case steps from the start?
